Place: Ratings & Reviews

You won't find a friendlier store owner that not only cares a lot about the craft beer world but also cares a lot about the customer experience. He goes out of his way to introduce himself and assist in any selections.

Now with 10 draft lines, whats better than getting a cold draft and shopping for beer? The answer is nothing.

Also, while they have bottles everywhere - VERY family friendly!! Highchairs provided and strollers are welcome! As a parent this is a huge deal to me.

Salud is a little shop of a style which I've never really experienced until I got to Charlotte where there seemed to be a few. Salud being the coolest of the bunch. It's a little store on the corner of a nondescript little line of storefronts. Stepping inside you're immediately greeted by what I would call a small lounge area. A couple couches and chairs make for a small seating area. Both walls are lined with bottles for sale, lots of local NC stuff along with a shelf unit in the middle of the store. Heading toward the back, the checkout counter is to the left and a small 5-6 seat bar off to the right. It's cozy and loaded with goodies. Like being in a friend's basement for a couple beers. Music is jamming at a level loud enough to hear but quiet enough to speak over. I seem to recall Ghostface...

The owner was tending bar and taking care of the shop while we were visiting. He was ready to talk at the drop of a hat. Cool guy, letting us know what's new, talking about some plans for a possible expansion, and giving us all types of tips on Charleston, SC. There were 6 or 7 people shopping around and drinking when I stopped in and they all seemed to know each other to some degree. 10 taps were pouring, all written on a chalkboard behind the bar, mostly local stuff, but a couple out of state selections as well. Growlers are filled and inexpensive. The service was great, selection very well thought out, and the vibe was right on; comfortable and fun. I can't recommend Salud highly enough.

Jason has a great store he is truly into craft beer and opened the store because he loves beer. Doesn't hurt he is a wolverine. Jammie is also great and the regulars are awesome. If you don't stop by here you are truly missing out. Also there is always a nice selection of tap. And you never no what sample you may get a chance to try..GO BLUE!

One of the best places in Charlotte to hang out at. Great beer selection and always some beers on tap that no one else has. Always meeting new people and sharing beers with friends. Old school Nintendo with comfortable seating to get your game on. This is 2 times a week stop for me.

The best beer shop in Charlotte, hands down. Friendly, knowledgable, and helpful staff. Taps are constantly rotating and offering unique beers, sometimes multiple times a day - and most of the time they are beers that you won't be able to find anywhere else in the city. Offers indoor and outdoor seating, original nintendo complete with punchout and battletoads. I spend way too much time there.

An absolute staple of the Charlotte and greater NC area beer community, Salud beer shop in NoDa (on North Davidson street; think: Tribeca) - located in the vicinity of gold medal winning NoDa Brewing and Birdsong Brewing, is the perfect place to find a rare selection of delicious beers that have been cared for better than most folks look after their kids. While it has a very established community of regulars and home to some of Charlottes most prolific beer folks, they are an extremely inviting and pleasant crowd. Don't know much about beer or just trying to get more involved? This is your place - everyone will welcome you and help you choose something perfect for your palate. Check out some of the newly added shelves that feature owner Jason and his buddies most outrageous grabs from all over the country. A grizzled stout veteran with specific tastes? I guarantee you Jason and his staff can find you something dark and angry while you swap beer lore and stories.The bottom line is this, Charlotte and in turn Asheville have exploded in the last few years and Salud Beer has been their biggest friend and advocate. Do not come to town and miss this gem.

I was in Charlotte for the weekend and my buddy Brian(the unofficial Mayor of NoDa) took me here.Perfect,non-pretentious atmosphere for drinking great beer.Jason is a true BeerAdvocate(whether he's on here or not).He and his wife,Dareilyn,are perfect hosts.As I mentioned,atmosphere was great,service was excellent,selection was awesome(grabbed Hop Drop N Roll,Mogli,Dark Hollow with Chocolate and Coffee,Wicked Weed Black Angel and Amorous).Prices were reasonable.Love my wife.Love my family.Love St.Louis area.But this place makes me wish I was single and living in Charlotte again.Great place.

When I first reviewed this kick ass spot, it was just a bottle shop. Not that there's anything wrong with that - it was solid. Times have changed - they continuously have a great variety of beers on draft now, brews you don't see anywhere else. The space is tiny and overflowing, but they're in the midst of an expansion & will soon have deli foods too. The best thing about the place - the people. They guys running the joint could not be cooler. It's a beer geeks dream - these guys know beer, they can talk with you about anything beer related. This has become one of my favorite spots to grab a beer - in the country. Check 'em out.

Has some decent beers on tap and a very decent selection of bottles. Some varience as to what is available, but always a great choice. Some items you can't find elsewhere. Easy friendly crowd in this area of town and a solid friendly staff that treats all like everyday customers. Super knowledgeable staff and owner.

Ownership goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed.

Parking is somewhat tough sometimes, but other than that good place to relax and enjoy a good beer.

What a great place to drink and purchase beer. Jason is very friendly and REALLY knowledgeable. They always have something good and different on draft, and they have couches with 8 bit nintendo to play. Pretty sure I have the high score for Duck Hunt.

Love this place, the people there are great. Always a good place to kill some time. The only bad thing about it is figuring out what to drink since the bottles and draft are both really good. Jason is very knowledgable and can always recommend something new to try. He carries everything from local to absolutely funky. Another great thing is even if uou dont know anything about beer, thrre is always someone who is willing to help you out, even if they don't work there.
